<br />TUESDAY. MAY 9, 1995
<br />
<br />Vecchia, Executive Director of the Uptown Revitalization Association,
<br />requested that Council increase its appropriation for the Association
<br />from $20,000 to 825,000 to allow for funding of required activities in
<br />the Main Street Program. Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous
<br />vote, Council increased the appropriation for the Association by
<br />$5,000. Mayor Adams and Commissioner of Revenue J. Ronnie Minter
<br />explained the proposed budget's personal property tax rate decrease
<br />from $2.25 per $100 of value to $1.92 as being due to the
<br />Commissioner's review of an opinion by the Attorney General that all
<br />personal property be assessed at 100% of value. Prior to FY 95-96, the
<br />Commissioner, at the direction of Council, had assessed personal
<br />property at 75% of value, therefore, unless the rate of the tax is
<br />decreased, a tax increase would occur. There being no other comments
<br />from persons present, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed.
<br />
<br />Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council adopted the
<br />following Resolutions:
<br />
